A Typology of Corporate Actions for a Nature‐Positive Future

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Achieving the global goal of halting and reversing biodiversity loss requires a step up in corporate action and accountability. This includes addressing indirect, diffuse or historical impacts on nature across the value chain—forming a complex landscape of potential actions for businesses as they develop their corporate nature strategy.

Progressive changes in coral reef communities with increasing ocean acidification

Communications Biology
Ocean acidification from increasing atmospheric CO2 is progressively affecting seawater chemistry, but predicting ongoing and near-future consequences for marine ecosystems is challenging without empirical field data. Here we quantify tropical coral reef

Investigation on anthropogenic and opportunistic factors relevant to the incidence of stranded loggerhead sea turtle Caretta caretta along South Tyrrhenian coasts

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Caretta Caretta are endangered sea turtles leaving in the Mediterranean Sea. We carried out a study on 195 sea turtles stranded along the coast of Southern Italy, evaluating anthropogenic and opportunistic factors affecting animal health status and ...

Plastic and marine turtles: a review and call for research

, 2016
Plastic debris is now ubiquitous in the marine environment affecting a wide range of taxa, from microscopic zooplankton to large vertebrates. Its persistence and dispersal throughout marine ecosystems has meant that sensitivity toward the scale of threat

Biophysical processes of morphogenesis in lizard lungs

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The lungs of squamate reptiles (lizards and snakes) are highly diverse, exhibiting single chambers, multiple chambers, transitional forms with two to three chambers, along with a suite of other anatomical features, including finger‐like epithelial projections into the body cavity known as diverticulae.

Latitudinal effect on the structure of snake–prey interaction networks is mediated by snake species richness

Ecography, EarlyView.
Despite the growing number of studies on trophic networks in recent decades, there are still important gaps in our understanding of how these networks are structured across broad environmental gradients. These gaps are even greater in some groups of terrestrial vertebrates, such as snakes, requiring a cohesive synthesis of their broader trophic ...

Ocean Governance and Marine Conservation: Institutional Work as a Lever for Ocean Sustainability

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ocean governance presents one of the most complex environmental policy challenges of our time, requiring coordinated action across multiple scales, sectors and stakeholder groups. This paper applies institutional work theory to systematically examine how actors create, maintain and disrupt the governance arrangements underpinning ocean ...
